This first stage of a relationship is often called the "honeymoon stage", but could also be referred to as the naive, unconscious or euphoric stage.
No matter how long we have been looking, finding someone special can lead to many unrealistic expectations about our potential future partners.
In fact, things that we initially liked in the other person, being the life of the party, great joke teller, quiet, passive, etc, may become the very things that upset us most later.
Couples usually are forced by some crisis to face the grim truth that the early "honeymoon" stage is over and it's time to start dealing with the real demands of an enduring love relationship.
